Lion-man of Hohlenstein-Stadel

Prehistoric ivory sculpture discovered in the Hohlenstein-Stadel, a cave in Germany

The Löwenmensch figurine, also called the Lion-man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, is a prehistoric sculpture discovered in Hohlenstein-Stadel, a German cave, part of the Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 1939. The German name, Löwenmensch, meaning "lion-person" or "lion-human", is used most frequently because it was discovered and is exhibited in Germany. It is an anthropomorphic figurine combining a human-like body with the head of a cave lion (Panthera spelaea).
